Who is responsible for Extra duty watch?

I've always told that the person recommending someone for AR 15 was responsible for extra duty watch. Is there a regulation that covers this situation?

It's the commander's decision almost always delegated to the 1SG. whatever they say goes, some use a DA-6 some use their chain of command, some use the recommender.

I have known some commands that use the CQ to overwatch the ED Soldiers. And since the CQ was always DA-6 roster, two birds with one stone as it were.

As MSG Private RallyPoint Member stated, I've normally seen the CQ take responsibility for the service members serving on extra duty. I know during my time, it was part of the briefing the 1SG would have with the incoming CQ NCO. However, I don't think this removes the service member's supervisor from having to take responsibility to check in on his/her Soldier while they serve out their extra duty. The NCO Support Channel of that Soldier should take a very active role in ensuring that the Soldier is taken care of while serving out this duty. To just pass the buck off to the CQ shows the Soldier a lack of support from his/her NCOs and could result in repeating behavior.

It was our CQ was in charge of us. First Sergeant and the commander left thing s that needed done for the next day and we did it. Hell we even had top out there helping us tear out the cactus' in front of the company area. Hell we got a week cut off our sentences for that and my squad leader was pissed!

Since the AF doesn't really have CQ, it is normally up to the owning Flight/Duty Section to find an NCO to pull watch duty for the member pulling extra duty.

It all depends on the CoC. I've been in units where its the CQ, and I've been in units where its the first line supervisor.

Why not just have the person in charge of the place where the duty is performed take care of it. I had Article 15 long ago and the first cook, a Spec 5, not a NCO, supervised me, supervising the KPs.
